Resident 2012 - 2015

11/6/2015

Terrible management. Complete lack of maintenance. Bad neighborhood. I lived here for 2.5 years. Management: Frankly, the management is rude and lazy. Wanita has rolled her eyes at me every time I've gone to talk to her and showed no care for any of my concerns. She is only willing to talk to my African American roommate. She actually has cut me off mid sentence several times to tell me to stop talking and have *Roommate 2* come over to talk to her instead. Management has often come into the apartment without any notice or even a knock, for seemingly no reason. (Just to look around and gripe I guess.) Maintenance: None. The maintenance staff is incompetent and careless. Our air conditioner went out two consecutive summers, all summer long. We reiterated the issue with them every day, and they came once a week, claiming they fixed it. They finally replaced the unit with a different used unit, that I suspect they switched from a different empty apartment. There was a leak in my bedroom ceiling. Took them a week to fix it. Needless to say, there was some significant water damage by then. The air conditioner works now, but is leaking water through the second floor and out of a light fixture on the first floor (filling a gallon pot on the floor every day). This had happened for around 6 months before we moved out. When we reminded them about it, they told us we never told them (meaning we told them, but they didn't want to do anything about it and they were keeping the deposit-- which they did of course). By the time we left, the ceiling with the leak was caving in, and the walls around it looked like they were melting because of the paint peeling around the leak. There was a gap under the door since we moved in that hadn't ever been closed. Unwanted pests got in often. The wooden fence around the patio was (and I'm sure still is) falling apart. The gate has rotted off its hinges. While gardening, a falling 2x4 with nails sticking out grazed my wife's head. Honestly, it could have killed her. I could really go on and on about maintenance. Neighborhood: Well, it's a block away from McNeese, so that's a plus! On the other hand, My roommate and I have both had our cars broken into. Came outside to all my car doors left open... but only a roll of stamps missing. Kind of scary, but nothing really came of it. My roommate though, came outside to a his car lifted off the ground and a group of 5 men dismantling his car! His wheels/rims were stolen and $3000 of engine parts. He still hasn't been able to buy a new vehicle, poor guy. Would be nice if Fleur De Lis would install some security cameras. I've seen someone trying to break into the apartments, going from one window to another, looking to break in. Seen someone bash somebody's car in with a bat in the parking lot. In general, the area is loud and full of domestic disputes. Oh, and pizza places won't deliver to the area after 9pm.
